Thank You @stevewhalen6973 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
I cant believe i smoked for 13 years. I got emotional just thinking about it the other day. This channel among others has saved my life. I would wake up gasping for air, dizzy spells, headaches, numb and tingling legs and arms, literally coughing up blood in my phlegm. I started keto, stopped smoking and slowly started exercising. Its a year later now and ive lost 40 pounds (220-180) and it feels amazing to breathe. But most importantly, i can actually play with my 3 year old daughter. Thank you, Dr!
Same journey here. Reversed t2d 2 yrs ago with keto and now carnivore. Met those goals and now 3 weeks ago stopped smoking. Age 65 ...so it's about time, right? Lol.
What do you think it made the difference for you to change? Learn more about it? Constant contact with this kind of content that reminded you from where the symptoms come? Because I think at least smoking is well know that causes diseases. I mean no disrespect, just trying to figure it out what make people click. The information gave you real understanding of the cause - consequence issues? Or it gave you enough knowledge to overcome the "good stuff" in the bad habits? I have changed lifestyle choices over the years as well, but I don't know if my reasons are the same of others.
Congratulations to you!…I’ve been working out and eating healthy most of my life!…What I have found , it’s always a work in progress. Keep going and adjusting your foods to make it better….
Vielen Dank Dr. Ekberg. Ich hatte eine Zeitlang Probleme mit der Leber. Ich habe Mariendistel genommen und meine Ernährung konsequent umgestellt und regelmäßig treibe ich Sport. Auf Alkohol habe ich komplett verzichtet. Endlich geht es mir wieder gut.

This is such an important message. Thank you. Our body, including our liver is capable of doing so much, including its own repair. We mustn’t take it for granted
I had fatty liver disease for a several years due to me eating fast food on a daily basis, my doctor said my liver could be dead in 4-5 years if I didn’t do anything about it. I ended up dieting and exercising, doing intermittent fasting, and it reversed. I was so happy.
Me too. I was drinking too. I had fatty liver, and got healthy after 3 months, then went back to bad habits. A few years later it was a lot worse than the first time. Last year I had to make a major life change, and I'm still not where I'd like to be. Ketosis, fasting, and exercise are challenging, especially with timing.
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist- Why should one repent to Jesus and not to the Lord of Jesus? John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
Coming from the UK, I had never heard of acetaminophen - here it’s known as paracetamol. So glad I have seen this video. The liver truly is an amazing organ that can regenerate itself within a month - I’m considering no alcohol for January 😬
There are not differences between paracetamol and acetaminophen, both are generic names for the same chemical substance. In USA you can find this under the name Tylenol for instance.
Dr. Ekberg's "clickbait" is the kind that serves to rescue people, which makes it a most legitimate tool for our own overall good and survival. Thank you Doctor!!!!! I never feel a vacuum on my wallet while viewing your videos; but instead sense a dynamic energy from you for our best health.👍 ❤
Sometimes I get a bit impatient with Dr Sten Ekberg because I am totally carnivore and he is more moderate in his advice than I what I really think. Not anything particularly wrong with his points, and I give Dr Ekberg a lot of respect for both his factual knowledge, which I cannot fault, and his occasional rhetorical devices. This and his other videos have great production values: point form text of what he is saying so I can follow along, some diagrams and illustrations. This video presented "Body Burden" in such a clear way, I am going to share to my friends to see this video. In this particular video I felt he was a bit soft on alcohol and fructose. I think alcohol consumption should be as close to zero as possible. Not sure if he meant the occasional beer or whatever is ok, but that was my impression. Of course, the goal of this video was about medication, not fructose, not alcohol. He did mention them as "body burden" so anybody curious about alcohol and fructose effects on health can explore those.
J'ai trouvé cette vidéo très intéressante et enrichissante. J'ignorais que le fructose était plus toxique pour le foie que l'alcool. Une de mes tantes avaient eu un cancer du foie, et elle consommait beaucoup de desserts et sucreries, mais rarement de l'alcool d'une teneur de 5 % d'alcool. J'ai déjà entendu que le citron était bon pour le foie et le nettoyait. Merci pour la vidéo !
With all the research that I've been doing a video comes along that explains and puts everything into focus. This is that video.. thank you Dr. Sten Ekberg
As a hemophiliac who recovered from hepatitis c I really appreciate this Doctor. Having had a aneurysm in my brain resulting in seizures partly due to withdrawal from perkaset I also appreciate the Keto diet. Which has also allowed me to keep my weight manageable. I'm just amazed how important it is to eat whole foods. God bless you Dr. Ekberg.
I wish they had known this with my childhood best friend's mom who died of liver failure. Her doctors could not explain why her liver was failing. But after seeing this video I'm thinking back, Friend's mom was a habitual Tylenol user. She had such terrible migraines that she took Tylenol and Aleve and Excedrin to treat the pain. And it wasn't like she was taking too much. She always took the proper dosage, and never on top of one another. But she still ended up dying at the age of 58 of acute liver failure. I wish more people knew this. I wish I had known this. It says on the bottle may cause liver failure but most people probably think excessive use or overdosing on it will cause liver failure. Most people probably think they are safe as long as they take the medicine properly. Tylenol should do a better job making this clear.
if your head feels weird for any reason, drink 3 cups of water. any drug that numbs pain is really a nerve poison. if used too long creates more pain. cabbage cures the liver.
A friend of mine died of liver and kidney failure at the age of 32. He was a heavy drinker and I suspect he got into pills during the lock downs. RIP Tom Wold.
I drink every night, but don't get drunk and measure out how much I drink, and I'm 75. But it's away over the recommended amount. I think binge drinking is dangerous. I also smoked all my life and still am. But I never lived for drink or smoking, and I think that made the difference.
@@herbertlong3981 You made me smile. Such good advice, with a "please". I'm only worried by doctor will force me to take your advice. And then that wouldn't be funny.
@@MichaelHarrisIreland am 73, in good health, very fit, active. Have never drank much at all. Not even a beer a month average But have always loved a hot chocolate/coffee in the morning. Like cinnamon in it. Just discovered that the best cinnamon for it is 2 ounce's of Fireball So I guess I am now officially drinking whiskey! Doctors cant force people to do anything. They've wanted me to take statins for 18 years. Said no way back then, and still do today
NAC is given for acetaminophen overdose and is good for many things. It helps your lungs produce glutathione. Of course it was pulled from Amazon during covid because we couldn't have any option except the injection.
From what I understand the UN via WHO, see Codex Alimentarius, has considered reclassifying vitamins and supplements as medicine to be made available by prescription only, and something similar is possible with lab grown foods available with varying levels of nutrition for which you qualify depending on, e.g. social credit score, carbon footprint. Have a look at how many indoor greenhouses there are now and the controls they have in place.@@Eet_Mia
So grateful for your videos Dr. Ekberg! I'm becoming more and more of a health champion because of them! Thank you for caring about getting the information out there. Hope you have a great weekend!
Thank you @mwhite1474. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and the mechanism we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
More real health education here and other channels, than in med (big pharma) school. And, BTW, the World Health Organization (WHO) wants us peasants to stay ignorant. They spread actual disinformation.
Kindness is rare these days, Thank you for giving me Hope!!! @Mwhite ❤🙏🏻 God Bless you!!! 🕊 DrEkberg, Thank you for Sharing!!! Know that you are a Beacon of Light for the Children of God... I Pray that the LORD brings you much Success and NO mess!!! Amen!!! 😂😂😂 Bracha!!!
wow....just wow. I am so mindblown and grateful at the same time with what Dr Sten does for all of us. Thank you for sharing this precious knowledge with us Doctor!
I have been watching DR sten Ekberg since CO Vid 19 started, For 3- 4 my husband and get healthyier and we both lose weight. I had lots weight 3 stone my husband lost 2 stone. I would say my husband and I watched almost every episode of DR sten VDO. I even told my boss, my colleague my husband’s family if they are wanted to lose weight or get healthier watch DR Sten VDO.I m sorry for my English. I am a foreigner. Thank you DR sten for all your VDO. Even though we are getting healthy and lost weight we still watch your VDO.
Lyme disease that went undiagnosed for almost 9 years wrecked my liver. Thankfully my doctor convinced me to get a very expensive, but accurate blood test for Lyme.
@@pamelamunsoncountryestates418 They put me on 4 different antibiotics for 2.5 months alongside ozone therapy. I am currently taking stevia extract drops from nutramedix 15 2x per day. I am still not 100% but I am getting better. Also working out again helps and so does cleansing the liver. I would recommend ecodetox, but as always check with your doc. My doc prescribed me all of this
I was sick with autoimmune liver cirrhosis, and waited for 2 years on a list to get a transplant. I got the phone call from the hospital at days of dying. I clinically died a few times because I had hemorrhages in the oesophagus, I also convulsed a number of times because my blood was poisoned, got in the hospital for blood infections 2 times, and I had multiple toxic dementia episodes. Dying of a liver cirrhosis is a terrible way to go. I'm forever grateful to the doctors and nurses who saved my life multiple times.
This was an excellent presentation; especially the separation of what we have added from what is/was naturally there. The stacking concept to show total burden was well-presented also.
You're correct but having easy access to info seems to have occurred concurrently with a disturbing rise in mental dullness on the part of the average person
My sister died this year of autoimmune hepatitis. She had had a liver transplant, but she passed away before she could get another one. She lived 25 years with the donor liver until her body started attacking it. Let me tell you, liver failure is a terrible way to die. I would not wish it on anybody.
@@pete9688 no but her body attacked the new liver. The antirejection medication's actually trashed her kidneys. So she was basically in need of a new liver and new kidneys.
Thank you for such a broken down explanation of the liver. I've watched many on the liver and this one helps me so much to understand even more. I was diagnosed with NAFLD a little over 3 yrs ago and went NSNG and healed my liver and got rid of pre diabetes. I haven't taken acetaminophen in a little over 3 yrs and if I absolutely NEED pain medicine I only take 2 ibuprofen. I haven't ever been a drinker so I guess I have the going for me. It's hard to believe acetaminophen is the #1 cause but I totally believe everything you ever post in your videos. You've helped me so much so THANK YOU!!!
@@brada1997 no sugar no grains. A less restricted version of keto. Web search it. Create by the great Vinnie Tortorich. It's the best diet for complete long term health. IMHO
Thank you, Doctor for reminding us all that so much has happened in the last half century that we need to be paying close attention to in order to live well.
This video is extremely helpful and I'm actually unemployed by choice, as I've decided to stay at home and fix these very issues. I not only need to do intermittent fasting, but continuous fasting to regain balance. I've been purposely going outside and sticking my bare feet in the sand to ground myself out, to get rid of electrical imbalances.
I know that grounding/earthing is legit, but I'm not sure if doing it with sand is effective. Since sand is silica/glass, which does not conduct currents. Unless it's wet, in which case the water would be conducting the current.
In a sense, I wasted 20 years of my life due to poor nutrition. It all started with hives (a certain disease), and then I felt very unwell. The poor well-being led to digestive issues, discomfort, and for half a day, I felt like I hadn't fully awakened ('sand in the eyes'). If I didn't get a good night's sleep, the symptoms would intensify. About three months ago, I started eating impeccably - no junk, no sugar, only natural foods (eggs, meat, carrots, onions, tomatoes, sauerkraut, nuts, etc.). The symptoms disappeared immediately. I still drink alcohol about once a week, around 5 beers, but nothing harms me as much as 'junk food. I forgot that it also affected my mental well-being... some anxieties, paranoia, etc. If someone wonders how life can be wasted by such things, it's like living as if you had a 'burned finger'... you're technically alive, but you constantly feel discomfort and keep giving up on things you would normally do. For me, it manifested, for example, in not being able to attend morning lectures normally... I wouldn't be able to handle it because I felt so unwell.
Good for you .... keep it up " live long and prosper " . Dr Ekberg is one of the greatest doctors on this YT . I have been listening to him and , Dr Berg another Channel on RUclips , ..... Has my life..... I thought I was eating good for the past , three times as much as you , and since I've been eating low carbs and no sugar I feel 20 years younger !
@@karolmot7099 falling back into bad habits It's like a slow boiling of the frog for health and well-being. Congrats on waking up.Don't ever go back to sleep.
I absolutely try my best to avoid any medication at all cost. Headaches are usually the result of dehydration, speaking for myself. So I drink a lot of water and take a short nap. Usually that does it for me. I will take medication if it will save my life. But for aches and pain and smaller less serious stuff, hydrate... sleep and just suck it up.
For someone who has migraines, more salt/sodium is important. Just drinking water would make the issue worse for them specifically. The first few times I had a migraine they were atypical, I thought I was having a stroke (numbness, inability to speak/use correct words). Possibly in my case a B vitamin deficiency, which I started supplementing after the third hospital visit (which included MRIs and CT scans, never showed any brain bleeds). BUT, I have had typical migraines since (headache, nausea, vomiting), and they occur around beginning of my period. I didn't make an effort to increase salt/sodium, but I started having gallbladder pain. So I began taking a gallbladder supplement and it has helped the gallbladder pain, as well as my monthly migraine has seemed to turn into a regular headache/neck pain. No nausea/vomiting. Dr. Eric Berg (I use his gallbladder supplement) has said that most headaches are caused by the gallbladder. So my experience would seem to match up with that. My statement about sodium for migraine sufferers comes from Angela Stanton's work. I'm not saying these things to be argumentative, but to share more info which may help people. They can choose what they want to try.
My friend’s coworker died from Tylenol poisoning. Healthy man in his 30s, drank heavily one night at a work conference and took Tylenol. He was found dead in his hotel room. The medical examiner’s report revealed what happened.
I was diagnosed with primary biliary colangitis 2 years ago. I wanted to be easy on my liver since it has this issue. I sotpped eating and drinking the things that will stress it unnecessarily. That is how I found the ketovore way of eating. Since then I'm mostly carnivore. I love your channel. Thank you dearly for all you do!❤
@zeljkapetrovich The itch from PBC is a really big issue. It causes you to not get any sleep and is very debilitating . Before finding a solution I was getting about 15minutes of sleep at a time. It was horrible. Finding what works to remedy it was life changing. Most people with this disease don't really have any other symptoms. Blessings to you as well ☺️
The other risk is oxidized oils. This has been researched in aquaculture. My partner studied the use of oxidised oils in feedstock for aquaculture at 1% and 5% concentrations. The livers of both were enlarged but the 5% group livers were 3 to 4 times larger and yellowish rather than reddish brown. Fermented fish oil eg river cobbler which is used in Thai green curry recipes is also a source of liver flakes killed around 28,000 a year in Thailand due to cancer of the liver. This has been replaced with anchovies in many supermarket ready meals. Last time I researched this it still affected around 3,000 per year in the states and UK. Avoid fermented fish and oxidized oils in particular get to know the smell of the oils you use.
True...also high levels of N-nitrosamines have been found in air, water, foods, cosmetics, tobacco, and packing materials in Thailand that are thought to contribute to high hepatocellular cancer rates there along with liver fluke which is found in raw/undercooked and fermented river fish.
@@iahelcathartesaura3887 YEP. Outside of sugar that I couldn't quit, seed oils were all in my salad dressings & mayo based dips that I ate tons of. At least my digestive cryses has forced me to finally quit all of it.
00:04 Liver diseases are major causes of fatalities, with various diseases contributing to liver failure 02:22 Lifestyle choices greatly impact liver health. 04:29 Lifestyle choices and medication can cause liver damage. 06:44 The liver performs over 500 chemical reactions and has multiple crucial functions. 08:54 The liver metabolizes food, hormones, and environmental toxins, but excessive burden can lead to liver failure. 11:09 Acetaminophen is a major contributor to liver failure and is found in various medications. 13:23 Common pain relievers can stress the liver and cause harm. 15:34 Liver can regenerate if healthy, but man-made substances pose the biggest threat.
He should've mentioned STRESS. So huge part of us are suffering from chronic stress nowadays. In my opinion it's one of the biggest killers that keeps us sick and destroys our gut. Mental side is as important as those other factors.
These videos have really helped me do my own studying on various health factors. I am on the keto diet, learning how to balance vitamins, minerals etc. Think I am dealing with some mineral defiencies, have had blood work for thyroid but expensive to get very detailed in the blood work, I power walk 2 to 4 miles a day, 6 days a week, try hard to stay health, I am 67 yrs of age, always been very physically active. 0Your videos are a life saver to me, THANK YOU.
Not really because if you eat the correct diet, a diet composed of only whole unrefined plant foods you’ll never acquire any of the most common diseases. Also you can eat as much as you want and you’ll never even gain excess weight and always be lean and trim
Absolutely love your videos Dr. Ekberg! Your explanations are easy to follow, and the information you offer seems so honest!! Thank you very much for all of your efforts to get these videos out to us. Big respect to you Sir!
I smoked for 35 years. Quit 23 years ago. No sugar. Stop drinking. At 74 work at my small business 40 yo 60 years a well and happy. Less stress . Eat right. You can only change you. One day at a time. Do not live for tomorrow. Live for today...

I feel so much more balanced and relieved from random pains I had until 18 months ago. Thanks for all the great advices and explanations I received from you and your colleagues on other channels.
Mate, do you take opioid pills? That's a wonderful drug if you are in pain! Of course if you take this in the future you'll probably fall into an evil spiral of pain and drug abuse but who cares what's happening many years into the future, right?
I’m going to a funeral for a former classmate who died of liver cirrhosis. Complicated from Covid and ❤ the alcohol. 52 years old. Personally , I love the sugary stuff. It has been a tough few weeks, trying to abstain from alcohol and sugars. I have had two seizures from stopping cold turkey . I wanted to make cookies for the holidays and eggnog, but now that is off the table. It has been three weeks, and I have slimmed down by ten pounds not eating sugars, wheats, and beverages. I just wished I could have came to this conclusion without suffering a friend dying.
Did your classmate have complications due to covid or covid vaccine?My friend got moderna one type covid jab and immediately started suffering liver failure.
@tanyakilbane7636 - Try the Carnivore diet for 30 days in the New Year to break your sugar addiction. It's simple, you just eat meat/animal foods: beef, pork, seafood, lamb, butter & hard cheese. It's will cure you of your carb addiction & it provides tons of health benefits. You can reverse many diseases (diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, gout) by eliminating the plant foods that cause them, esp. carbs which all turn to sugar once you eat them. Look up Dr. Ken Berry, he's got tons of YT videos on how to follow the carnivore diet. If you start now, you won't miss the Xmas cookies. 😎 No carbs taste as good as being healthy feels.
Hi, from America, if you I could help me I will be very grateful if I could send you a picture of a very old bronze plate from the middle east to try to read the inscriptions ? Thanks
Sir in my case in endoscopy i have echostructure in liver means i donet know what it is then doctor gave me evitol vitmine a capsules hepapro powder pls is it harm pls answer me sir
Those deep fried foods can make you tired so I would make a nice guacamole salad and putting some lemon juice in there to keep it fresh or a good sandwich that keeps well.
I'm sorry that it's so hard to be able to eat a healthy diet because of your job. Thanks for being a trucker. I usually have real salt, garlic powder and sometimes EVOO in my pocketbook when I go to restaurants. I forgot, I also put some kind of tea bag that will help me with blood sugar or detox. Just saying anyone who eats out needs to bring some healthy food with them. Again, thanks for being a trucker. It's a harder job nowadays.
Puedes comprar una olla arrocera mediana o pequeña y utilizarla como pequeña hornilla y cocinar en ella. Usarla en el lugar donde duermes, hacer además de arroz, sopas, pollo o pescado, patatas.... Comer ensaladas y frutas 😋. Claro que implicaría prepararte tu propia alimentación, más trabajo del que ya tienes, pero es por tu salud por tu vida, tu buena vida. ❤ Bendiciones 🙏.
This doctor needs to be cloned and put into every medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about health. He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way. I just love learning from his simple to understand videos ... I respect this man immensely. 👍👍👍
Any chance of a follow up vid on how to protect one's liver via supplements? Such as Milk Thistle and Alpha Lipoic Acid as well as high quality liver detox supplement packages.. With all of the toxins in and around us these days, I believe this would be a good idea.
Very unbiased and down to earth factual video . Lots of common sense examples of how we have evolved through civilisation and our life styles. So many people want to and are indeed , going back to natural based foods and natural lifestyles. The modern times we live in are not totally good for us in a number of key ways . ( pointed out in this video )
Love the video, very informative. I myself never take any OTC drugs mostly because of this reason. However I still drink and smoke on occasion. My question to you is Dr. how would you feel about doing a follow up video on the opposite topic? Ie. What foods, vitamins, work outs, life styles, etc. Are good for the liver, and can help rebuild and repair it. Thanks
I feel lucky to have found your channel some months ago. The advice you give is precise, the explanations around cause-effect and the impact to our bodies of the things we consume are priceless. We need to be better human beings if we want to change ourselves and the world for good. And it all starts with us being healthy. My congratulations to your work here.
Thank you @betelgeuseaml. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
Food is not medicine, though. Medicine has its own place and uses. As with food, it's the abuse (as in chronic overconsumption or acute overdosing) that makes it toxic and cause more harm than it helps.
@@xnoreqfood is medicine though. It's a preventive measure that ensures you don't need pharmaceutical medications, which btw, are like a bandaid that treats the symptoms, not the disease.
I tested positive for Covid on Monday (first time), and I endured the symptoms for many hours while contemplating whether I should take a Tylenol for the reasons you delineated in your video Dr. Ekberg. I took one (1) that day but decided to rely on fresh ginger and garlic 😀.
Doctor you are amazing! So clarifying explanation! Many things I already suspect but it is so good to understand it all better! Big thanks from Brazil!
I love the graph indicating the Liver Burden. Somehow I imagined that alcohol is a 200%, 300%, maybe 20,000% burden on the liver. Since I am a non-drinker, my irrational thoughts thinks that alcohol is completely destructive to the liver by thousands and thousands of percent. That is my bias thoughts - whether this an extreme view or not, it keeps me healthy. 😊
LOL I'm in the opposite camp in that a few good whiskies at the end of a hard day is mandatory. On the other hand, I've ceased all the other burdens long ago as a carnivore. For me that burden chart was a blessed relief !
@@pokeypickle3 lol don’t stop I’m always grateful for reminders that it’s really not a healthy habit but have a massive stress in business and consider a few scotches a better choice than Prozac! I do the same thing advising people I meet of the wonders of a carnivore diet :)
@@marcjames3487 I'm surprised you're carnivore and still feel the need for liquor to handle stress. Many people have said after going carnivore, they can handle stress so much better. Maybe consider some nutritional supplements. Check out doctoryourself (since learning about carnivore, I don't agree with the sentiments on the site about reducing animal foods/increasing plants, but the nutrient info is still useful).
For people who have to take Acetaminophen frequently due to medical conditions (eg. frequent headaches), the best solution to protecting your liver (and kidneys) from Acetaminophen poisoning, is to take it together with Glutathione (eg. preferably Setria form or alternatively N-acetylcysteine precursor), which is what they would give you at the hospital for Acetaminophen poisoning anyway.
@@vcat8136 Try to find out where Your pain is coming from...have You tried healing? Maybe quant um heal ing with Tena & Karen can help You...or Atlantis scalar...
An even better option is Continual-G supplements. They contain the immediate precursor to glutathione, gamma glutamylcysteine (Glyteine), which unlike glutathione and NAC supplements can increase the pools of glutathione in all your cells, including those in your liver and kidney. This would be very helpful if you are obliged to take a lot of acetaminophen/paracetamol
I’m so glad I saw this. I have fatty liver. I’m in my 70’s and suffered from migraines up until my 50’s, and took a lot of Tylenol and Tylenol with Codeine through the years. I now suffer from back pain and take Tylenol. My pharmacist told me it won’t hurt me to take 4-6 per day.
Hi Dr. Ekberg, I just discovered your channel a few weeks ago. Thank you for the contents you have created. I like the flow of your presentation with straightforward points and actionable items. Would you please consider making a video on sarcopenia (if you haven't yet)? Thank you 🙏 😊
@@drekbergI've learnt so much from you. I stopped eating white bread/sugar, and carbonated drinks......I am pleased with myself. Thanks so much. I appreciate!!
I got home from the hospital the same day as my gall bladder removal. I was sent home with hydrocodone for pain. I did not want to take so much hydrocodone because it causes constipation. So that evening and the next day, I rotated 3 meds, took every 2 hours: acetaminophen, fiorinal with codeine and the hydrocodone. The last 2 meds were not labeled that they had acetaminophen in them. The next evening after the surgery I felt so sick I went to the ER. I had almost overdosed on acetaminophen. That was in 2005. Since then Ive noticed the medical community, pharmacist & drug labels making a better effort to tell patients when acetaminophen is in the prescription drug.
I'm sorry you had that experience, but also that you had your gallbladder removed. I wish people were aware of other options besides gallbladder removal. My mother had hers removed in the late 1990s, it's just *not* a great thing.
ongoing nutrient deficient for years, was taking tons of tylenol to deal with migraines, which ultimately turned out to be due to malnutrition, specifically a lack of sodium/magnesium. Ever since supplementing began some 6 months ago, migraines and headaches are down some 80% and tylenol intake is down some 90%. I will be doing everything in my power to avoid it outright after viewing this video. Thank you.
5 years ago I felt really poorly. I went to the doctor and promptly vommited into his waste basket. I had damaged my liver by taking Robaxicet in prescribed doses over a period of years. Robaxicet contains acetaminophen. It took me months of no acetaminophen, no alcohol and healthy diet to reach a healthy state.
Fructose is used by animals wanting to exploit autumn fruits to build fat for hibernation. This mechanism is common to most mammals including humans, except that we do not hibernate and have now worked out how to get fructose containing sugar all year round. Every spoonful of sugar is half fructose which cannot be burning in the body but HAS to be converted to FAT in the liver before is can be used. If you have ever wondered why low fat treats still make you fat- then this why.
@@onearthonelegion The dose is the poison. You can drink just a little cyanide and just get light headed, and be 100% fine later. Sugar bombs and large drinks loaded with 100g of high fructose corn syrup.. that's getting pretty close to poison.
@@onearthonelegion the difference between the two is that water is a requirement for life, while fructose is *not*. At the smallest amount of fructose, it will still cause glycation/damage. Just because it doesn't un-alive you at that small amount doesn't make it harmless.

Thank You @stevewhalen6973 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
I cant believe i smoked for 13 years. I got emotional just thinking about it the other day. This channel among others has saved my life. I would wake up gasping for air, dizzy spells, headaches, numb and tingling legs and arms, literally coughing up blood in my phlegm. I started keto, stopped smoking and slowly started exercising. Its a year later now and ive lost 40 pounds (220-180) and it feels amazing to breathe. But most importantly, i can actually play with my 3 year old daughter. Thank you, Dr!
Same journey here. Reversed t2d 2 yrs ago with keto and now carnivore. Met those goals and now 3 weeks ago stopped smoking. Age 65 ...so it's about time, right? Lol.
What do you think it made the difference for you to change? Learn more about it? Constant contact with this kind of content that reminded you from where the symptoms come? Because I think at least smoking is well know that causes diseases. I mean no disrespect, just trying to figure it out what make people click.
The information gave you real understanding of the cause - consequence issues? Or it gave you enough knowledge to overcome the "good stuff" in the bad habits?
I have changed lifestyle choices over the years as well, but I don't know if my reasons are the same of others.
Great news it's a horrible habit/addiction, but did you just admit you were smoking while pregnant 😮(unless adopted or when through surrogacy)

I had fatty liver disease for a several years due to me eating fast food on a daily basis, my doctor said my liver could be dead in 4-5 years if I didn’t do anything about it. I ended up dieting and exercising, doing intermittent fasting, and it reversed. I was so happy.
Me too. I was drinking too. I had fatty liver, and got healthy after 3 months, then went back to bad habits. A few years later it was a lot worse than the first time. Last year I had to make a major life change, and I'm still not where I'd like to be. Ketosis, fasting, and exercise are challenging, especially with timing.
What does this have to do with a fatty liver weirdo @RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist-.
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist- Why should one repent to Jesus and not to the Lord of Jesus?
John 5:30
I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
where is your jesus now @RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist- ? lol, 🤣😂🤣
how long is your intermittent fasting, ?
What i love about your channel is that it's very easy to share it with friends and family.
Coming from the UK, I had never heard of acetaminophen - here it’s known as paracetamol. So glad I have seen this video. The liver truly is an amazing organ that can regenerate itself within a month - I’m considering no alcohol for January 😬
There are not differences between paracetamol and acetaminophen, both are generic names for the same chemical substance. In USA you can find this under the name Tylenol for instance.
Do not exaggerate - one week in January definitely will do the task - for 2024 😂
Thanks for pointing that out, I thought paracetamol was the safe ( less bad ) one
@@Lolipop59 I am glad someone pointed that out so clearly.
Oh, yes...the classic Dry January!😂
Dr. Ekberg's "clickbait" is the kind that serves to rescue people, which makes it a most legitimate tool for our own overall good and survival. Thank you Doctor!!!!! I never feel a vacuum on my wallet while viewing your videos; but instead sense a dynamic energy from you for our best health.👍 ❤
Agreed but still, it's frustrating. I'd love it someone followed him and edited all of his presentations down to just one or two sentences.
Thumbs up.
Sometimes I get a bit impatient with Dr Sten Ekberg because I am totally carnivore and he is more moderate in his advice than I what I really think. Not anything particularly wrong with his points, and I give Dr Ekberg a lot of respect for both his factual knowledge, which I cannot fault, and his occasional rhetorical devices. This and his other videos have great production values: point form text of what he is saying so I can follow along, some diagrams and illustrations. This video presented "Body Burden" in such a clear way, I am going to share to my friends to see this video.
In this particular video I felt he was a bit soft on alcohol and fructose. I think alcohol consumption should be as close to zero as possible. Not sure if he meant the occasional beer or whatever is ok, but that was my impression. Of course, the goal of this video was about medication, not fructose, not alcohol. He did mention them as "body burden" so anybody curious about alcohol and fructose effects on health can explore those.
J'ai trouvé cette vidéo très intéressante et enrichissante. J'ignorais que le fructose était plus toxique pour le foie que l'alcool. Une de mes tantes avaient eu un cancer du foie, et elle consommait beaucoup de desserts et sucreries, mais rarement de l'alcool d'une teneur de 5 % d'alcool. J'ai déjà entendu que le citron était bon pour le foie et le nettoyait. Merci pour la vidéo !

With all the research that I've been doing a video comes along that explains and puts everything into focus. This is that video.. thank you Dr. Sten Ekberg
As a hemophiliac who recovered from hepatitis c I really appreciate this Doctor. Having had a aneurysm in my brain resulting in seizures partly due to withdrawal from perkaset I also appreciate the Keto diet. Which has also allowed me to keep my weight manageable. I'm just amazed how important it is to eat whole foods. God bless you Dr. Ekberg.
God bless you! Sorry about your trials!!
I wish they had known this with my childhood best friend's mom who died of liver failure. Her doctors could not explain why her liver was failing. But after seeing this video I'm thinking back, Friend's mom was a habitual Tylenol user. She had such terrible migraines that she took Tylenol and Aleve and Excedrin to treat the pain. And it wasn't like she was taking too much. She always took the proper dosage, and never on top of one another. But she still ended up dying at the age of 58 of acute liver failure.
I wish more people knew this. I wish I had known this. It says on the bottle may cause liver failure but most people probably think excessive use or overdosing on it will cause liver failure. Most people probably think they are safe as long as they take the medicine properly. Tylenol should do a better job making this clear.
Acetaminophen should be banned from all stores for human consumption.
It's literally the #1 killer of livers in the US.
if your head feels weird for any reason, drink 3 cups of water.
any drug that numbs pain is really a nerve poison. if used too long creates more pain.
cabbage cures the liver.
I'll never understand how people just feel comfortable downing pills regularly as some kind of magic fix. Clearly something is wrong.
My daughter almost died from Tylenol. She had back pain & took it for 2 years-went into septic shock.
A friend of mine died of liver and kidney failure at the age of 32. He was a heavy drinker and I suspect he got into pills during the lock downs. RIP Tom Wold.
I am very sorry for your loss.
I drink every night, but don't get drunk and measure out how much I drink, and I'm 75. But it's away over the recommended amount. I think binge drinking is dangerous. I also smoked all my life and still am. But I never lived for drink or smoking, and I think that made the difference.

NAC is given for acetaminophen overdose and is good for many things. It helps your lungs produce glutathione. Of course it was pulled from Amazon during covid because we couldn't have any option except the injection.
I'm strong, at 58. Zero vax
NAC is available now on amazon. Not doubting it was pulled before, but it's there now for anyone who needs it.
From what I understand the UN via WHO, see Codex Alimentarius, has considered reclassifying vitamins and supplements as medicine to be made available by prescription only, and something similar is possible with lab grown foods available with varying levels of nutrition for which you qualify depending on, e.g. social credit score, carbon footprint. Have a look at how many indoor greenhouses there are now and the controls they have in place.@@Eet_Mia
N.A.C. was available throughout the pandemic, maybe not on Amazon, but elsewhere online and in health-food stores.

Thank you for such a broken down explanation of the liver. I've watched many on the liver and this one helps me so much to understand even more. I was diagnosed with NAFLD a little over 3 yrs ago and went NSNG and healed my liver and got rid of pre diabetes. I haven't taken acetaminophen in a little over 3 yrs and if I absolutely NEED pain medicine I only take 2 ibuprofen. I haven't ever been a drinker so I guess I have the going for me.

Grounding is a real thing, despite naysayers. Good luck to you!
I know that grounding/earthing is legit, but I'm not sure if doing it with sand is effective. Since sand is silica/glass, which does not conduct currents. Unless it's wet, in which case the water would be conducting the current.

In a sense, I wasted 20 years of my life due to poor nutrition. It all started with hives (a certain disease), and then I felt very unwell. The poor well-being led to digestive issues, discomfort, and for half a day, I felt like I hadn't fully awakened ('sand in the eyes'). If I didn't get a good night's sleep, the symptoms would intensify. About three months ago, I started eating impeccably - no junk, no sugar, only natural foods (eggs, meat, carrots, onions, tomatoes, sauerkraut, nuts, etc.). The symptoms disappeared immediately. I still drink alcohol about once a week, around 5 beers, but nothing harms me as much as 'junk food. I forgot that it also affected my mental well-being... some anxieties, paranoia, etc. If someone wonders how life can be wasted by such things, it's like living as if you had a 'burned finger'... you're technically alive, but you constantly feel discomfort and keep giving up on things you would normally do. For me, it manifested, for example, in not being able to attend morning lectures normally... I wouldn't be able to handle it because I felt so unwell.
Look at “CBD oil”.

I absolutely try my best to avoid any medication at all cost.
Headaches are usually the result of dehydration, speaking for myself. So I drink a lot of water and take a short nap. Usually that does it for me.
I will take medication if it will save my life. But for aches and pain and smaller less serious stuff, hydrate... sleep and just suck it up.
This needs to be the highlighted comment.
For someone who has migraines, more salt/sodium is important. Just drinking water would make the issue worse for them specifically. The first few times I had a migraine they were atypical, I thought I was having a stroke (numbness, inability to speak/use correct words). Possibly in my case a B vitamin deficiency, which I started supplementing after the third hospital visit (which included MRIs and CT scans, never showed any brain bleeds). BUT, I have had typical migraines since (headache, nausea, vomiting), and they occur around beginning of my period. I didn't make an effort to increase salt/sodium, but I started having gallbladder pain. So I began taking a gallbladder supplement and it has helped the gallbladder pain, as well as my monthly migraine has seemed to turn into a regular headache/neck pain. No nausea/vomiting. Dr. Eric Berg (I use his gallbladder supplement) has said that most headaches are caused by the gallbladder. So my experience would seem to match up with that.
My statement about sodium for migraine sufferers comes from Angela Stanton's work.
I'm not saying these things to be argumentative, but to share more info which may help people. They can choose what they want to try.
About 18 months ago I began to not take ibuprofen to soothe my aches because I know it's horrible for me. Now I hardly ever take it.

My friend’s coworker died from Tylenol poisoning. Healthy man in his 30s, drank heavily one night at a work conference and took Tylenol. He was found dead in his hotel room. The medical examiner’s report revealed what happened.

The other risk is oxidized oils. This has been researched in aquaculture. My partner studied the use of oxidised oils in feedstock for aquaculture at 1% and 5% concentrations. The livers of both were enlarged but the 5% group livers were 3 to 4 times larger and yellowish rather than reddish brown.
Fermented fish oil eg river cobbler which is used in Thai green curry recipes is also a source of liver flakes killed around 28,000 a year in Thailand due to cancer of the liver. This has been replaced with anchovies in many supermarket ready meals. Last time I researched this it still affected around 3,000 per year in the states and UK.
Avoid fermented fish and oxidized oils in particular get to know the smell of the oils you use.
YES!!! A thousand thumbs up!
Thank you so much for this information. Much appreciated!
True...also high levels of N-nitrosamines have been found in air, water, foods, cosmetics, tobacco, and packing materials in Thailand that are thought to contribute to high hepatocellular cancer rates there along with liver fluke which is found in raw/undercooked and fermented river fish.

Of course if you take this in the future you'll probably fall into an evil spiral of pain and drug abuse but who cares what's happening many years into the future, right?
I’m going to a funeral for a former classmate who died of liver cirrhosis. Complicated from Covid and ❤ the alcohol. 52 years old.
Personally , I love the sugary stuff. It has been a tough few weeks, trying to abstain from alcohol and sugars.
I have had two seizures from stopping cold turkey . I wanted to make cookies for the holidays and eggnog, but now that is off the table. It has been three weeks, and I have slimmed down by ten pounds not eating sugars, wheats, and beverages.
I just wished I could have came to this conclusion without suffering a friend dying.
You can add keto deserts. Just be very careful. Don't over do
Did your classmate have complications due to covid or covid vaccine?My friend got moderna one type covid jab and immediately started suffering liver failure.
Bravo! 👏🏼 Keep up the good work!Egg nog is like liquid ice cream. I love it, but it is too tempting for me. I stay away from it!❤
@tanyakilbane7636 - Try the Carnivore diet for 30 days in the New Year to break your sugar addiction. It's simple, you just eat meat/animal foods: beef, pork, seafood, lamb, butter & hard cheese. It's will cure you of your carb addiction & it provides tons of health benefits. You can reverse many diseases (diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, gout) by eliminating the plant foods that cause them, esp. carbs which all turn to sugar once you eat them. Look up Dr. Ken Berry, he's got tons of YT videos on how to follow the carnivore diet. If you start now, you won't miss the Xmas cookies. 😎 No carbs taste as good as being healthy feels.
There is a keto eggnog you can make at home. Tastes pretty good!
We appreciate your work dr ❤
Thank you for such a broken down explanation of the liver. I've watched many on the liver and this one helps me so much to understand even more.

Don't listen to 👆 guy. Glad you're here getting the wisdom Dr Ekberg has to offer.
Hi, from America, if you I could help me I will be very grateful if I could send you a picture of a very old bronze plate from the middle east to try to read the inscriptions ? Thanks
Sir in my case in endoscopy i have echostructure in liver means i donet know what it is then doctor gave me evitol vitmine a capsules hepapro powder pls is it harm pls answer me sir
Eat meat.
As a truckdriver nearly all the food at the truckstop is deep fried in these bad oils nothing baked not even the fish or potatoes
Those deep fried foods can make you tired so I would make a nice guacamole salad and putting some lemon juice in there to keep it fresh or a good sandwich that keeps well.
I'm sorry that it's so hard to be able to eat a healthy diet because of your job. Thanks for being a trucker. I usually have real salt, garlic powder and sometimes EVOO in my pocketbook when I go to restaurants. I forgot, I also put some kind of tea bag that will help me with blood sugar or detox. Just saying anyone who eats out needs to bring some healthy food with them. Again, thanks for being a trucker. It's a harder job nowadays.
Puedes comprar una olla arrocera mediana o pequeña y utilizarla como pequeña hornilla y cocinar en ella. Usarla en el lugar donde duermes, hacer además de arroz, sopas, pollo o pescado, patatas....
Comer ensaladas y frutas 😋.
Claro que implicaría prepararte tu propia alimentación, más trabajo del que ya tienes, pero es por tu salud por tu vida, tu buena vida. ❤ Bendiciones 🙏.
Sometime you may get a smoothie or fruit/veget juice with few nuts as meal. It's healthy, light, full of vitamines... It's good for our liver. 😊
Get a little butane stove
I watch all his videos. His presentation style is informative and I love visuals.
This doctor needs to be cloned and put into every medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about health.
He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way.
I just love learning from his simple to understand videos ... I respect this man immensely. 👍👍👍
He's not a medical doctor
They know the correct info but thy suppress it. It's deliberate
@HowDidIGet3700Subshe is a doctor. Your opinion doesn't change that. Lying pos.

Any chance of a follow up vid on how to protect one's liver via supplements? Such as Milk Thistle and Alpha Lipoic Acid as well as high quality liver detox supplement packages.. With all of the toxins in and around us these days, I believe this would be a good idea.
Dandelion root (capsules, tincture - nonalcoholic is available, tea) also supports the liver.
Very unbiased and down to earth factual video . Lots of common sense examples of how we have evolved through civilisation and our life styles. So many people want to and are indeed , going back to natural based foods and natural lifestyles. The modern times we live in are not totally good for us in a number of key ways . ( pointed out in this video )
Red beets, anti oxidant green tea, apple cider vinegar in apple juice and 24 oz. Of water daily for 40 years now.
and is liver fine?
@@ahandlenameismandatory
Yes, and with lemon juice in the tea also.

Obwohl nicht unwissend, hat mir dieser Videolehrgang wirklich viel gegeben.
Vielem Dank!
Love the video, very informative. I myself never take any OTC drugs mostly because of this reason. However I still drink and smoke on occasion. My question to you is Dr. how would you feel about doing a follow up video on the opposite topic? Ie. What foods, vitamins, work outs, life styles, etc. Are good for the liver, and can help rebuild and repair it. Thanks
Hi Dr. Ekberg
I want to thank you very much for clearly explaining with details about this topic
🙏🏽🙏🏽👍👍
Please add to this video directly what foods are ideal to aid liver ...beets etc.
Great video!
I feel lucky to have found your channel some months ago. The advice you give is precise, the explanations around cause-effect and the impact to our bodies of the things we consume are priceless. We need to be better human beings if we want to change ourselves and the world for good. And it all starts with us being healthy. My congratulations to your work here.
Thank you @betelgeuseaml. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
Let food be thy medicine.
Food is not medicine, though. Medicine has its own place and uses.
As with food, it's the abuse (as in chronic overconsumption or acute overdosing) that makes it toxic and cause more harm than it helps.
Praise Allah

@@xnoreqfood is medicine though. It's a preventive measure that ensures you don't need pharmaceutical medications, which btw, are like a bandaid that treats the symptoms, not the disease.
I tested positive for Covid on Monday (first time), and I endured the symptoms for many hours while contemplating whether I should take a Tylenol for the reasons you delineated in your video Dr. Ekberg. I took one (1) that day but decided to rely on fresh ginger and garlic 😀.
The test is bogus, don't you know that yet?
It's just a COLD the test is a scam
No big deal

I saw a video of a guy who ran his covid test under the water in his kitchen sink and got a positive "covid" test.

Wow,absolutely amazing,So informative & easily broken down.
Who would name them to educate the general for the good???!!! Thank you Dr Ekberg!
AVOID if you could :
Acetaminophen
Ibuprofen
Naloxene
There, i just save 17 minutes of your life. You're welcome.
Many thanks, appreciate your care! 🙂😜
Thanks!!
Lol. Not really I like watching his videos.
You completely missed the very important concept of body burden (toxic load) that the video talks about.
aspirin is a liver poison too. Avoid nickel rich food and alcohol -- whatever makes you need pain relievers. No more experimenting.
Fantastic Video 👍thank you Dr. Ekberg
Thank you @flight0007 for letting me know. I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching.😄
Doctor you are amazing! So clarifying explanation! Many things I already suspect but it is so good to understand it all better! Big thanks from Brazil!
I found this fascinating and you explained it so clearly thank you so much.
Very interesting video, explained in a informative way. 👌
Thank you @maan9176 😄
I love the graph indicating the Liver Burden. Somehow I imagined that alcohol is a 200%, 300%, maybe 20,000% burden on the liver. Since I am a non-drinker, my irrational thoughts thinks that alcohol is completely destructive to the liver by thousands and thousands of percent. That is my bias thoughts - whether this an extreme view or not, it keeps me healthy. 😊
LOL I'm in the opposite camp in that a few good whiskies at the end of a hard day is mandatory. On the other hand, I've ceased all the other burdens long ago as a carnivore. For me that burden chart was a blessed relief !
@@marcjames3487😂 I am trying to convince people to stop drinking. 😂 We all have our own cognitive biases 😂 Thank God I’m not a religious zealot 😂
@@pokeypickle3 lol don’t stop I’m always grateful for reminders that it’s really not a healthy habit but have a massive stress in business and consider a few scotches a better choice than Prozac! I do the same thing advising people I meet of the wonders of a carnivore diet :)
Thank you @pokeypickle3. I don't know the percentages, but as I mentioned, I did not claim that any of it was to scale. 😄
@@marcjames3487 I'm surprised you're carnivore and still feel the need for liquor to handle stress. Many people have said after going carnivore, they can handle stress so much better. Maybe consider some nutritional supplements. Check out doctoryourself (since learning about carnivore, I don't agree with the sentiments on the site about reducing animal foods/increasing plants, but the nutrient info is still useful).
For people who have to take Acetaminophen frequently due to medical conditions (eg. frequent headaches), the best solution to protecting your liver (and kidneys) from Acetaminophen poisoning, is to take it together with Glutathione (eg. preferably Setria form or alternatively N-acetylcysteine precursor), which is what they would give you at the hospital for Acetaminophen poisoning anyway.
Thank you for that! I have chronic pain and need it to function.
thank you!
Try a pain patch or muscle rub like biofreeze, etc.
@@vcat8136 Try to find out where Your pain is coming from...have You tried healing? Maybe quant um heal ing with Tena & Karen can help You...or Atlantis scalar...
An even better option is Continual-G supplements. They contain the immediate precursor to glutathione, gamma glutamylcysteine (Glyteine), which unlike glutathione and NAC supplements can increase the pools of glutathione in all your cells, including those in your liver and kidney. This would be very helpful if you are obliged to take a lot of acetaminophen/paracetamol
Thank you, Dr. Ekberg. Another extremly valuable video.
I’m so glad I saw this. I have fatty liver. I’m in my 70’s and suffered from migraines up until my 50’s, and took a lot of Tylenol and Tylenol with Codeine through the years. I now suffer from back pain and take Tylenol. My pharmacist told me it won’t hurt me to take 4-6 per day.
Hi Dr. Ekberg, I just discovered your channel a few weeks ago. Thank you for the contents you have created. I like the flow of your presentation with straightforward points and actionable items. Would you please consider making a video on sarcopenia (if you haven't yet)? Thank you 🙏 😊
Thanks so much for all you do❤
You are welcome @tyneuranta3373. Thank you for watching. 😄
@@drekbergI've learnt so much from you. I stopped eating white bread/sugar, and carbonated drinks......I am pleased with myself. Thanks so much. I appreciate!!
I got home from the hospital the same day as my gall bladder removal. I was sent home with hydrocodone for pain. I did not want to take so much hydrocodone because it causes constipation. So that evening and the next day, I rotated 3 meds, took every 2 hours: acetaminophen, fiorinal with codeine and the hydrocodone. The last 2 meds were not labeled that they had acetaminophen in them. The next evening after the surgery I felt so sick I went to the ER. I had almost overdosed on acetaminophen. That was in 2005. Since then Ive noticed the medical community, pharmacist & drug labels making a better effort to tell patients when acetaminophen is in the prescription drug.
I'm sorry you had that experience, but also that you had your gallbladder removed. I wish people were aware of other options besides gallbladder removal. My mother had hers removed in the late 1990s, it's just *not* a great thing.
I'm in Ghana and I do appreciate how lovely you teach,in fact you are God sent,, how I wish to see you one day,, now i and my wife are looking good
I like the tone of your voice. Very calming.
ongoing nutrient deficient for years, was taking tons of tylenol to deal with migraines, which ultimately turned out to be due to malnutrition, specifically a lack of sodium/magnesium. Ever since supplementing began some 6 months ago, migraines and headaches are down some 80% and tylenol intake is down some 90%. I will be doing everything in my power to avoid it outright after viewing this video. Thank you.
God gave you a Liver that heals, if you fix your wrongs, your body will rebuild.
I am 41 and i was on MRT last week, i am happy that all is great no fat liver no cancers
5 years ago I felt really poorly. I went to the doctor and promptly vommited into his waste basket. I had damaged my liver by taking Robaxicet in prescribed doses over a period of years. Robaxicet contains acetaminophen. It took me months of no acetaminophen, no alcohol and healthy diet to reach a healthy state.
Best health channel! I am very thankable. 🙏❤🙏
Thank you so much for all your teachings ❤❤❤❤
Fructose is used by animals wanting to exploit autumn fruits to build fat for hibernation. This mechanism is common to most mammals including humans, except that we do not hibernate and have now worked out how to get fructose containing sugar all year round. Every spoonful of sugar is half fructose which cannot be burning in the body but HAS to be converted to FAT in the liver before is can be used. If you have ever wondered why low fat treats still make you fat- then this why.
Thank you @chazwyman8951. Exactly. And our doses of fructose are 10-20 fold higher than we could get from fruit. And that was seasonal.😄
@@drekbergPlus the fiber would slow down the absorption some, so your liver had a little less throughput
Fructose is not an poison, but too much fructose is potentially dangerous, just as drinking too much water can be (water poisoning exists)
@@onearthonelegion The dose is the poison. You can drink just a little cyanide and just get light headed, and be 100% fine later. Sugar bombs and large drinks loaded with 100g of high fructose corn syrup.. that's getting pretty close to poison.
@@onearthonelegion the difference between the two is that water is a requirement for life, while fructose is *not*. At the smallest amount of fructose, it will still cause glycation/damage. Just because it doesn't un-alive you at that small amount doesn't make it harmless.
